Lethargic legs is a fitting ride title for today. After two rides in a row of 45+ miles each the body was not peppy as I rode the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. I planned on a shorter ride today and that is all I could handle. I rode 32.18 miles but a low overall average speed of 13.8 mph. It was hot at the beginning but after the rest stop at the Huffman Chevron the ride back home was cooler due to the rain to the west. I wondered if I would get wet before finishing the ride but I made it without any problem.

The rest stop at the Huffman Chevron came none too soon. My energy was low and the light wind was more than enough to slow me down whenever it was a headwind. My Elemnt screen when i arrived at the station and the weather while I was resting in the shade.

The yellow and orange on the weather radar was in the direction I was headed. I hear some thunder and later when i was riding towards Lake Houston on FM1960 I saw a couple of lightning strikes. I left the station at 2:01 which helped me get in front of the Kingwood High School traffic when they let out at 2:45. When I reached Kingwood Drive there was no traffic and I zipped across. I finished the ride at 2:50. Today I started at 11:48, earlier than yesterday.

For the month I rode 618 miles leaving 182 miles to hit my goal of 800 miles. Tomorrow’s weather has rain chance at 50% early then drops lower. I plan on biking after I watch the Vuelta a Espana.
